On Demand - EP Studies, Ablations and Device Coding and Billing for Physicians: The Least You Need to Know-Webinar Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Nicole Knight and Linda Gates Shribby discuss EP lab billing for physicians. They explain that the video will cover topics such as EP studies and ablation services, coding and documentation, bundled versus billable services, and documentation tips. They also provide instructions for accessing the slide presentation and recording of the session.<br /><br />The presenters mention the importance of visualizing the slides and provide an overview of their backgrounds. They encourage active participation and interaction from the audience. They clarify that the webinar is focused on coding and documentation for EP physicians, and there are no CEUs or CMEs available for coders.<br /><br />They discuss the coding options for EP studies, ablations, and other procedures, emphasizing the need for accurate documentation to support the codes billed. They also highlight the changes in coding and bundling over the years and how it has affected reimbursement for EP procedures.<br /><br />The presenters provide examples of coding scenarios, including the addition of extra arrhythmia mechanisms during ablations and the billing of multiple procedures during device implants. They explain the use of modifiers and documentation requirements for more complex cases.<br /><br />Towards the end of the video, they provide an overview of miscellaneous device-related codes, including lead insertions, removals, and repositioning. They briefly touch on anesthesia/sedation coding and coding for generator changes in subcutaneous and wireless devices.<br /><br />Overall, the video aims to provide EP physicians with guidance on accurate coding and documentation for their procedures, ensuring proper reimbursement for their services. No credits are mentioned in the video.
